Flying robot roams 鈥榬oof of the world鈥
Print Edition
Capable of flying at an altitude of 6,000 meters and conducting environmental monitoring, a Chinese-developed flying robot is helping researchers learn more about the 鈥渞oof of the world.鈥
The robot named Yunque is capable of conducting high-altitude environmental research and was used to monitor glaciers and lakes during China鈥檚 second comprehensive scientific expedition to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, known for its high altitude, thin air and harsh weather, has posed a challenge for scientific surveys. For those extremely high altitude areas that are hard to reach for human investigators, a lack of data limits the capacity for comprehensive and in-depth scientific investigation.
Developed by researchers from the Shenyang Institute of Automation under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the robot can conduct autonomous takeoff and landing, fly along a fixed route and avoid dynamic and static obstacles in extreme environments such as thin air and strong wind disturbance.
It can carry 5 kilograms of scientific research samples, resist strong winds up to force seven.
And it can fly at an altitude of 6,000 meters for nearly 30 minutes.
In glacier areas at an altitude of 6,000 meters, the robot conducted thermal infrared image monitoring of the ice temperature, surveyed and modeled the three-dimensional topography, and monitored the temperature, humidity and black carbon content of the high-altitude atmosphere.
